Pennant/flag construction

Abstract

A pennant assembly (10) including a pennant unit (11) rotatably supported on a pole unit (12) by a support unit (13) and further including a noise making unit (14) operatively deployed between the support unit (13) and the pole unit (12) whereby noise will be generated as the support unit (13) rotates relative to the pole unit (12).

I claim: 
     
       1. A pennant assembly comprising: a pole unit including a pole member having a collar bearing element disposed proximate to but spaced from the upper end of the pole member;   a support unit including a bracket member rotatably supported on said pole member at a point above the location of said collar bearing element;   a pennant unit including a pennant member operatively attached to said bracket member; wherein, the bracket member includes a generally cylindrical stem element rotatably disposed on said pole member; and, wherein the stem element is provided with a pair of clamp arms that are adapted to engage one end of the pennant member;   a noise making unit operatively associated with said pole unit and said support unit; wherein said noise making unit comprises; a spoke collar element provided with a plurality of spokes and disposed on said pole member; and a flexible card element operatively associated with the bracket member so as to be brought into sequential engagement with the spokes on said spoke collar element as the bracket member is rotated about the upper end of the pole member; and, at least one downwardly depending clamp plate secured to one of the clamp arms of the bracket member wherein the flexible card element is secured to said at least one clamp plate.   
     
     
       2. The assembly as in claim 1 wherein the upper end of the pole member is further provided with an enlarged standard that will arrest the upward travel of the bracket member relative to the pole member.
